Fifteen Digits by Nick Santora

A GRITTY THRILLER SET IN THE WORLD OF POWERFUL NEW YORK LAW FIRMS, FROM NICK SANTORA, WRITER OF THE HIT CRIME DRAMAS THE SOPRANOS, LAW & ORDER, PRISON BREAK and BREAKOUT KINGS AND THE NATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF SLIP & FALL.

Is it really insider trading if you've been an outsider your entire life?

Five men. Five walks of life. Every day they come together at the white shoe law firm Olmstead & Taft. But they're not lawyers. They're "Printers": blue-collar guys consigned to the dark basement of the firm charged with copying, collating and delivering the mountains of paperwork that document millions of dollars of sensitive legal secrets.

Until the five are approached by an ambitious young attorney who teaches them what they have: insider information. Together they make a plan to take the classified documents that pass through their hands every day and use them to get rich. They create a joint account to deposit the spoils. An account with a safeguard--each one only knows one section of the access code.

Which means that for all five conspirators, there's no way out. But as too much money piles up to go unnoticed, the Printers will discover there's one thing even worse than being an outsider: being in too deep.

Nick Santora is a co-creator, executive-producer, and writer for the hit A&E show Breakout Kings, and served as writer/co-executive producer of Prison Break. He has also written for The Sopranos and Law and Order. A born and bred New Yorker, he now lives in Los Angeles, California.

Unrated Critic Reviews for Fifteen Digits

Kirkus Reviews

Rich Mauro is living the dream—heaps of money, beautiful girlfriend, bright future—when an insider-trading scheme involving him and his blue-collar co-workers in the printing department of a big New York law firm blows up in their faces.

Book Reporter

Rich Mauro is a hard-luck and hard-working guy, a construction worker who gets the chance to trade in his tool belt and hard hat to start at the ground level --- actually, the below-ground level --- with the firm, making his way through law school and, hopefully, a position with the firm.

Reviewing the Evidence

With a strong list of writing credits (including having written scripts for The Sopranos and Law and Order among them) and a solid plot, he takes his readers on a wild ride through sections of New York and the lives of the underclass that most readers will never experience.

Still, one can't help but wonder, had the author have been a little more restrained in the first half of Fifteen Digits in foreshadowing what was to come, might not the second half have been a little less predictable and thus more suspenseful.
